Deputy PM Thongsri Thongsri says 9 water measures for 20 Isan provinces will go to cabinet; no date or budget given yet. Provinces are preparing evacuation shelters and recovery plans, mainly for known flood spots. Mekong levels are high because upstream dams released water without advance notice. For Isan SMEs in flood- or drought-prone areas, watch for the cabinet decision and any changes to dredging-soil rules, which could affect local construction and earthwork costs.
